Letting things go

After spending the morning letting things go I wanted something simple for lunch.

I boiled some sweet potatoes and stirred in some Bulgarian yogurt and some chopped up red cabbage.

Then I spooned over the top some tuna fish mixed with some yellow mustard, garlic powder, black pepper and onion powder.

It was fast and filling. 

And an apple on the side.

Letting things go of anything is not easy. My sister tells me it will feel wonderful when I have cleared out all of this stuff.

I have decided to take her word for it. 

I am still not sure...

A pea-full morning

My pea shoots were starting to wilt in the fridge so I broke them out for my breakfast.

I was thinking, as I was doing my usual blog check this morning (my version of the morning paper:-), that my blog must be a sad (or shocking) disappointment if anyone is hoping to see things like cereal or oatmeal on a regular basis.

This is what I had for breakfast this morning:

Sauteed pea shoots with a soft boiled egg.

The pea shoots took less than 2 minutes to cook. I put in a small amount of coconut oil in a pan on high heat - tossed them till they wilted and plated them.

Many of the recipes for pea shoots recommend trimming off some of the stalk but I like the bit of extra tangy bitterness it adds so I kept them whole.

While I was stir frying the pea shoots, I put one egg in a pan of cold water and set the burner to medium high. When the water started to simmer, I turned down the heat and set the timer for 4 minutes.

I decided that the dish needed a little sauce so I added some of my homemade dressing.

I loved this dish! The pea shoots had a wonderful crunch and mixed with the creaminess of the soft boiled egg? MMMMM!

And it looked so pretty.

OK, enough of my love of egg yolks:-)

And one mug of strong coffee.

I really need to start adding more fruit into my diet...
